To do...

Remarks

Configure the IGMP general query
interval

igmp timer query interval

Required
60 seconds by default

Configure the maximum response

time for IGMP general queries

igmp max-response-time interval

Required
10 seconds by default

Configure the IGMP last-member
query interval

igmp last-member-query-interval
interval

Required
1 second by default

Configure the other querier present

interval

igmp timer other-querier-present

interval

Required
By default, the other querier

present interval is [ IGMP general
query interval ] × [ IGMP

robustness variable ] + [ maximum

response time for IGMP general

queries ] / 2.

CAUTION:

Make sure that the other querier present interval is greater than the IGMP general query interval.
Otherwise, the IGMP querier might change frequently on the network.

Make sure that the IGMP general query interval is greater than the maximum response time for IGMP
general queries. Otherwise, multicast group members might be wrongly removed.

The configurations of the maximum response time for IGMP general queries, the IGMP last-member
query interval and the IGMP other querier present interval are effective only for IGMPv2 and IGMPv3.

Configuring IGMP fast-leave processing

In some applications, such as ADSL dial-up networking, only one multicast receiver host is attached to a

port of the IGMP querier. To allow fast response to the leave messages of the host when it switches

frequently from one multicast group to another, you can enable IGMP fast-leave processing on the IGMP

querier.
With fast-leave processing enabled, after receiving an IGMP leave message from a host, the IGMP

querier directly sends a leave notification to the upstream without sending IGMP group-specific queries

or IGMP group-and-source-specific queries. Thus, the leave latency is reduced on one hand, and the

network bandwidth is saved on the other hand.

Configuring IGMP fast-leave processing globally

Follow these steps to configure IGMP fast-leave processing globally:
